Recently, environmental pollution caused by plastic waste, ecosystem disturbance of micro-plastics and human body accumulation are becoming big problems. In order to replace the traditional plastic, eco-friendly resin and natural fiber-based composite materials have been developed, but they have a disadvantage that their mechanical properties are significantly lower than those of synthetic fiber-based composites. In this study, eco - friendly nanofiber was extracted from seaweed and used as an additive in order to improve the mechanical properties of jute fiber-reinforced composites. Through the hand lay-up process, the composites were fabricated, and it was confirmed that the nanofiber was effective in improving the mechanical properties of natural fiber composites through tensile, bending and drop weight impact tests.

Natural fiber reinforced composites are emerging as low-cost, lightweight, recyclable, and eco-friendly materials. These are biodegradable and non-abrasive. Due to eco-friendly and biodegradable characteristics of natural fibers, they are being considered as potential candidates to replace the conventional fibers. The chemical, mechanical, and physical properties of natural fibers have distinct features depending upon the cellulose content of the fibers which varies from fiber to fiber. The mechanical properties of composites are influenced mainly by the adhesion between matrix and fibers. Several chemical and physical modification methods of fiber surface were incorporated to improve the tiber-matrix adhesion resulting in the enhancement of mechanical properties of the composites. This paper outlines the works reported on natural tiber reinforced composites with special reference to the type of fibers, polymer matrix, processing techniques, treatment of fibers, and fiber-matrix interface.

"Eco-friendly construction"is an emerging issue in the building industry. Main purpose of the eco-friendly construction is to sustain the health and environment of building residents and to minimize the harmful effect on their environment. Apartment residents have great concern on eco-product, since many cases are reported that Sick Building Syndrome is caused by toxic substance from building materials. Environmental performance is to meet through using the highest grade eco-friendly materials. However, generally eco-friendly materials are more expensive than normal materials. Therefore using eco-friendly materials at public housing project is limited to economical aspect. The purpose of this paper is development of eco-friendly material selection model considered cost efficiency. The selection of Eco-friendly finishing materials and their methods are constructed to consider environmental performance level and cost index compositively. Development of eco-friendly material selection method is economic and reasonable one when public housing is constructed.

High-rise residential complex type is getting important as new town development and urban regeneration in the downtown area. However, literature review of high-rise residential complex and research on satisfaction analysis of real residents are lack. Therefore, this paper is analyzing environmental friendly planning elements of high-rise building as housing subdivision, inside of building, facility, and maintenance by a survey on experts. The purpose of this paper is to suggest improvement method of environmental-friendly planning elements of high-rise residential complex by M-IPA. First, as a result, the part of housing subdivision has to keep complex land utilization, environmental-friendly transportation. Second, the part of inside of building shows that ecological housing subdivision, indoor air environment urgent and indoor temperature environment keeps maintaining. Finally, the part of facility/maintenance shows that material and facility, and index of energy management are urgently needed.

Recently, sea algae cultivation as carbon sink and carbon dioxide fixation have been considered. Also, various researches on bioenergy derived from sea algae and the utilization of fibers, saccharide, and lipid of sea algae have been performing. Till now, algae fibers has been used for manufacturing of paper and reinforcing of polymer composites and the extracts of sea algae are used for cosmetics, pharmaceutical materials and food such as agar. Especially, algae fiber has so similar properties to cellulose in terms of crystallinity and functional groups that it can be utilized as reinforcements of biocomposites. Biocomposites as alternatives of glass fiber reinforced polymer composites are environmentally friendly polymer composites reinforced with natural fibers and are actively applying to the automobiles and construction industries. In this paper, characteristics of algae fiber and biocomposites reinforced with algae fiber as environmentally friendly energy materials have been introduced.

This study analyzed the field applicability through the combination of environment-friendly grid-typed reinforcements and pre-mixed fiber with filler. The film of the grid-typed reinforcement is made by recycled PE resin. And, Ascon fiber is obtained the dispersion by pre-mixing of filler. To be able to recognize in advance the various circumstances that could arise in the construction of the road pavement layer, we conducted a basic field application test of the (Mock Up) pavement layer. As a result, it was found that the pavement with environment-friendly grid-typed reinforcement and dispersive fiber construction had improved strength, stress, and rutting resistance. It is consistent with the strength and stress results of the actual test of the mock up specimen. It is expected to perform an effective role in the safety as well as the use of environment-friendly fibers in actual construction.

반도체 봉지재란 실리콘 칩, 골드와이어, 리드프레임 등의 반도체 소지를 열, 수분, 충격으로부터 보호하기 위해 밀봉하는 재료로서 EMC(Epoxy Moding Compound)가 가장 많이 쓰인다. EMC는 기계적, 전기적 성능향상을 위한 무기재료로 실리카(Silica), 열에 의해 경화되어 3차원 경화구조를 형성하는 에폭시수지, 빠른 경화특성을 부여하기 위한 경화제로서의 페놀수지, 유기재료와 무기재료 사이의 결합력을 높이기 위해 커플링제, 카본블랙, 이형성 확보를 위한 왁스(Wax), 착색제(Colorant), 난연제(Flame Retardant)등의 첨가제로 구성되는 복합소재로써 본 연구에서는 에폭시의 유형에 따른 용융 실리카를 주충진재로 하여 각각의 봉지재의 첨가제를 기준으로 할 때 다양한 형태의 친환경 비할로겐계 반응형 난연제를 합성하는 기술을 개발하고 비 할로겐계 및 Sb 계 첨가형 난연제의 혼용 배합을 통해 친환경 EMC용 난연제의 제조기술을 개발하였다. 이들 EMC의 요구특성은 요구특성은 외부환경으로부터 칩 보호, 칩을 전기적으로 절연특성 유지, 칩의 작동시 발생되는 열의 효과적인 방출 특성 유지, 실장(Board Mounting)의 간편성 특성을 확보해야 하는 특성을 지니고 있어 이들 요구특성에 적합한 특성조사가 함께 이루어졌다.

PDP의 저가화, 친환경화, 고화질화는 타 디스플레이와 경쟁을 위해 필수적이고 그로 인한 소재의 개발이 필요하다. 저가화는 부품, 공정에서도 가능하지만 소재에서의 원가가 상당부분을 차지하고 있기 때문에 소재 개발이 중요하며, 친환경화는 현재 유전체에서 많이 사용되고 있는 유해소재를 친환경 소재로 대체함으로써 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 그래서 우리는 현재 PDP에서 전극물질로 사용되어지는 고가의 Ag를 Gu입자에 Ag 박막으로 코팅한 Ag/Cu 전극 powder를 사용하여 저가의 전극 paste를 만들고 스크린 프린터와 노광장비를 사용하여 전극을 형성하였다. 그 후 친환경적인 Pb free 투명유전체를 입히고 전극과의 상호 매칭성을 연구 하였다. 결과적으로 기존 PDP 공정에서 볼 수 없었던 황변현상, 전극착색현상, 전극입자의 터짐성 등 많은 현상이 일어났지만, 기존 공정 온도보다 낮은 온도로 공정한 결과, 이러한 문제들이 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 이로써 공정단가의 저가화와 제품의 친환경을 가면서도 기존과 차이가 제품을 실현할 수 있을 것이다.
